oooo! here's what I do.

at work we have a vending machine (coke) with a curved front. It makes you look a lot skinnier from the front and sides.

I'd say it shaves off about 50 pounds. :D :D :D :D

I've been going back there to stand in front of it a couple of times a week for the past year, to envision my progress. I'll have to stop soon, as it will take off more than I want to loose :o this can be a great motivator!

Also I have been looking at some pictures of myself before I put the weight on. Now, I know I won't be YOUNG like that again, but it is helping me to mentally reacquaint myself with my smaller body.

I definitely do! I even have the exact outfit in my head of what I will wear once I am able. Plus, I am going to wear that outfit with the exact hiking sandals I imagine wearing while hiking with my dog.

I'm still pre-op... I just keep the vision of the shopping spree I'll be having in my mind... In this vision I'm actually able to fit into designer clothes of my choice rather than being stuck wearing only pants/jeans that stretch and stretch. I would love to be at a stable size... My closets often remind me of a store, when I open them it's reminder of my various success and failures of dieting due to the range of sizes I have... Since considering surgery it the first time I'm not giving away clothes that don't currently fit.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
